How to Resolve Sciatica Forever in Kingston WA

Many times we have patients walk into our office, Foundation Chiropractic in Kingston WA, that have stated that they have had low back pain for multiple years,….. 15 or 20 years at times. That always surprises me and I always wonder what have they been doing all these years to get through the day to get relief to work or raise their kids.

When I ask patients it’s usually the same answer, they take pain medications for years and eventually will get a surgical procedure to relieve the pain which is usually not long-lasting. Within a few years after surgery patient usually start experiencing pain again, because the underlying cause was not corrected.

If you are experiencing chronic low back pain, most likely it is compressing the lower back disc and if the problem stays uncorrected it will eventually irritate a nerve root and in turn can irritate a plexus of nerves called your sciatic nerve. Once your sciatic nerve has been irritated, regular activity such as sitting to standing, bending, sleeping positions will cause shooting leg pain.

Solutions to chronic low back pain and sciatica in Kingston WA

• Acupuncture: Acupuncture is designed to increase the circulation to a damaged area, which accelerates the healing process so soft tissue structures can heal and pressure can be taken off the sciatic nerve.
• Chiropractic: Chiropractic in Poulsbo is designed to move compressed joints. If joints stop moving, they will eventually deteriorate and create more arthritic joint surfaces. The goal is to use it, or lose it, you want to move the joint and the best way to do that is through chiropractic.
• Massage: muscles that attach to the pelvic joint such as the Piriformis and Gluteus Maximus can cause irritation to the sciatic nerve. Muscle therapy is necessary to calm the muscles down to allow the nerves to relax.
